Creating the Photo
I like the idea of showing the creative process from start to finish. For this photo I already had my tripod setup when I started the video. The main goal here was to show my shoot with the Lee Big Stopper. This was my first shoot with the filter, and I wanted to give a brief glimpse of what the filter can do. I had already set up the camera for the exposure. I metered with the filter off, and then I added 10 stops. I actually went 11 because I wanted an extra bit of data. From there the video begins. In the middle I had switched locations, but with the camera in aperture priority mode I put the filter on. I just wanted a visual of how dark the filter is. The video closes with my edit of the photo in Lightroom 5. As I get some more time to go out and explore I would like to make more videos like this one. Let me know if you enjoy it.
